THE GUNS ON THE ATLANTIC.
A Hoard Appointed to Test the Ship.
 Glanae city fnr Ca,rEi1nar ELaaZx Cuns

| A Board Appointed to Test the Ships l Capacity for Carrying Heavy Guns. l WASHINGTON, July 22.-Secretary Whitney
 in speaking of the failure of the guns of the cruiser Atlanta said she is meant for a fight ing ship and must be further tested He therefore to-day appointed the following
 board of officers to test her capacity for carrying heavy guns: Commander Goodrich, ! Lieutenant A. R. Cowden, Naval Constructor l Hichborn and Assistant Naval Constructor | Nioxn. This board will accompany the I Atlanta on an extended cruise and subject her guns to a severe test in all sorts of wind
 and weather to determine whether she is | thoroughly fitted for naval warfare.
 The firing of the heavy guns on the At lanta, it is learned, did some minor damage to the ship in addition to the 1oosening of the clips and clip circles and splintering of the deck. Several of the doors were sprung from their fastenings and the torpedo search glass was damaged, but naval officers says this was not to be unexpeceed and was probably due to the conclusion of firing such unusually powerful guns and to the fact that the doors were not secured tightly and left open for the air to rush through. Undue importance it is thought may be attached by the public to the damage caused by the firing of these guns. Nothing has occurred they say but what can be easily remedied and the United States is simply go- ing through the experience of other nations with the exception that in other countries nothing is said of these mishaps and they are kept secret as possible. Naval officers say it would be strange and we should be extraordinarily bright if we could build large vessels and large guns and have them ready for &C., tion without the least mistake. The trials already had proved that the Atlanta is 8 good vessel and that there is nothing the matter with the guns, but the conditions un- der which the firing took place are different from those at the proving grounds and that some alterations must be made to meet the changed conditions. It is thought the trou- ble was due to the spring of the deck and the remedy for this will be found in more strongly stanchioning the ship and also in providing heavier clips and circles. Draw ings for these larger clips will be made immediately so as to replace the present ones as soon as possible. The board which was to-day appointed by Secaetary Whitney will inquire into this matter and will also endeavor to find out whether the recoil cylinders which are used to lesson the concussion were followed with fluid or not. It is presumed that they were, but if it should prove otherwise that fact will in part account for the result of the firing.

St. Louis Invitation te Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, July s2.-The Star tonight says: ''The Mayor of St. Louis has telegraph ed to the President asking if he would receive delegation from St. Louis who would come to Washington on Monday to extend to him an invitation to visit that city in the fall after the Grand Army men have gone. A reply was sent that the President would be in Washington on Monday. The President of course has known for some time of the determination to urge him to take western tour, notwithstanding his declination of the invitation to attend the Grand Army camp, and he has been considering the question. but has not yet decided whether or not he will go. It is quite probable, though, that he will visit StLouis and some other western cities after his southern trip this fall

The Great Railway Deal.

deal:
Mr.. Robert Garrett's "deal" for sh,
sale OF the Baltimore and Ohio Raj!
road to sy indicate in New York prom :
SOS to continue the dramatic seDsaJioo
of the business world until the details
arc arranged. The announcement yea
terday that the negotiations with Mr
Sully and the Richmond Terminal pso
pie had fallen through made for brief
period something OF q stir in Baltimore
among the bankers and others.
A gentleman who has reason to bf
largely interested In the outcome Of
these negotiations said that II they fell
through the affairs of Mr.. Garrett and
bis railroad would bs seriously affected.
He said: "It would be an analerou,

Of the whole concern, the incidenta

The fact is that Mr.. Garrett, who

Mourning for Beecher.

New YORK, March IL All Brooklyn
was in mourning to-day over the death
OF Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. The pub
lie offices were closed, business was en-
5irely suspended, and memorial services
were held in large number of churches
In the vicinity of Plymouth Church. The
up town streets looked deserted. As
early as seven O'Clock Fulton avenue was
thronged with people hurry ing In tine di-
rection of Plymouth Church. While the
vast crowd OF people were gathering out
side the church, the lady members of the
congregation were working like beavers
within, dressing the pulpit and casket
with flowers. The whole interior was
turned into perfect flower garden, and
a fragrant perfume OF roses pcrvaded the
air
At haltpast ten o'clock Rsv. DR..
Charles Ii. Hall. robed In his white sur
Iplice, and accompanied by Rev 8. P.
Halliday, entered the church and as
Icended the platform. When the music
ceased, DR.. Hall commenced to read in
low clear tones the opening sentences Of
the Protestant Episcopal burial service.
After the tiut Lesson, Dr. Hall COM
menced his oratlon. During its delivery
there was not dry eye In the house, and
several times he was compel ed to stop
for short time to gain control of his
voice.
The other churches In which services
were held were all crowded to the utmost
extent of their capacity. Not vacant
seat, not an unoccuped foot of standing
room was there in Plymouth Church
The surrounding streets in all directions
were crowded with people waiting patient
ly for their turn to gaze upon the face o
